The Gorilla Glue Girl meme originated in February 2021 when TikTok user Tessica Brown shared a video explaining that she had used Gorilla Glue Spray adhesive on her hair after running out of her usual styling product. The video quickly went viral as viewers watched in disbelief as her hair remained completely immovable for over a month despite numerous washes and home remedies. The saga became a global sensation, sparking discussions about product labeling and social media fame, eventually culminating in a successful surgical procedure to remove the glue. Today, the meme is used to represent stubborn mistakes, regrettable DIY decisions, or any situation where a temporary fix becomes unexpectedly permanent.
